Inside Recess

The recess is inside the window opening. Choose this option if you want to the blind to lie in the recess of the window.

Width: Measure the inside width of the window at the top middle and bottom. Use the narrowest width measurement always using a metal tape measure.

Height: Measure the height of the window at the left, centre and right. Use the shortest height measurement always using a metal tape measure.

We will deduct the manufacturers recommended tolerance off the width/drop of the blind to ensure the blind operates perfectly within the window recess.

Outside Recess/Exact

Outside Recess/Exact is the outside of the window opening, overlapping the window recess. Choose this option if you want the blind to overlap the window recess.

WidthTo minimise light leakage it's recommended that the blind overlaps the window recess on the width by least 40mm each side (60mm in the case of vertical blinds).

HeightWhen measuring the height take into account the required space for the mounting bracket. A flat surface of a minimum 70mm above is required (50mm in the case of vertical blinds). The overlap at the bottom of the blind is a matter of personal choice but please take into account obstacles such as radiators.

Luxaflex® Fabric Vertical Blinds

As standard your Luxaflex® Fabric Vertical blind comes complete with weights in the bottom of each vane with chains that connect and run along the bottom of each vane.

As an alternative you may not want the connecting chains along the bottom of your vertical vanes. If this is the case you can select the 'Sealed Bottom Pocket' option.

This is where the weight is sealed inside a pocket at the bottom each vane and no connecting chain is used.

Blind Installation Heights

The 2014 changes to the child safety requirements of BS EN 13120:2009+A12014 place an obligation on all blind manufacturers to sell compliant products.

If you choose an 'Not Known Installation Height' from the drop down box your blind will be manufactured in accordance with the Safety Regulation Requirements.

If you select an installation height (this is the height the brackets will be installed above the floor level) then your blind will be manufactured taking this into account.
